The Musical Explorers program from Carnegie Hall.
Musical Explorers is a curriculum from Carnegie Halls Weill Music Institute (WMI) advised for children between the ages of four and eight. Its been utilized in classrooms throughout New York City and the rest of the world, but now those behind the program have adjusted their classroom curriculum for households with kids to use in your home.

Whether your kid is lucky enough to go to a school where music education is still a thing, or remain in a position where youre exclusively responsible for that aspect of their learning, you may want some backup. A totally free set of online music education lessons and materials is presently readily available, courtesy of none other than the famous Carnegie Hall. Heres how to access them.
